    Exactly the same reasons as our Presidents are on our money... respect, and not because they run/manage or help or do anything with the economy or anything ever related to it.

      They approved the Presidents to take action with the U.N. involved already... so they / Obama isn't breaking the or overstepping the constitution... and yes, congress DID approve it.

        I'm sure he has business knowledge, he is a lawyer, they do take business classes. However, no, I don't think they need it to qualify to be President.

        Opinion? It's not an opinion, plenty of Presidents haven't been business men, not all took business in school, and they've done fine.

        It's funny to watch you think our Country runs like a business though....

              Did you know... wait, of course you didn't.... anyway, 25 Presidents have been Lawyers, including Obama - even though not all finished law school. 1 was a Doctor. And 9 Presidents never went to college. The rest range from spoonfed rich to dirt poor, some worked for other people and others ran a business, and some only did social work.

              Thinking you must have a business background to be the leader of this country is completely foolish and ignores our own history that proves your mind set is flawed.

                      So according to you the president should know nothing about business, that's why you back Obama?

                      Thanx for clearing that up!!
                      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                      think about that

                        normally i would agree. But US business leaders are parasites, wrecking the middle class with declining wages while they pick up lotto winnings for salaries. Odds are, a president with business credentials will make matters worse.

                          Actually Obama DOES know a bit about business, more than 99.9% of the people on this forum, and more than many other Presidents we've had,

                          Support? Naaa, I voted for Ron Paul. My mission here is to show you people, how out of whack you guys are with just about everything you write related to Obama. Which we can clearly see in this thread....

                            What we need now is a tough leader and a parasite who can master the word no. Most of you can't understand or see how much deep shit we are in right now. Read this carefully, if Greece defaults they are just the first domino and there ain't no stopping it.
                            So you're voting for Ron Paul? Because he's the ONLY person pushing for that.

                                Hyper inflation, I think started shortly after the 1900's... by time the great deflation/depression ended they had everything in place to fully create & control the speed of inflation. We had a couple major hyper inflation jumps 10-20 years later, but that was followed by a long span of very slow inflation. Once 1973 happened, inflation started to compound and as it grows, it compounds even more, exactly like interest does.. making steady-compounding hyper inflation a normal for almost 40 years now.

                                Even if it goes down slightly one year, it's still up over the previous years, it has gone up every decade, like clockwork for a 100 years. Today it takes about 10-12 years and inflation doubles itself, which started just after 1973.
                                You are using a definition of hyper-inflation that is not in use in mainstream economics.

                                      I think... if that raw material costs everyone more, then it's just inflation, something we can define as a direct cause, like the cost of gas going up. Hyper inflation is like our bread costing us $2-$5 and growing, when it sells for $.50 in other places around the world, and holds for the most part.

                                        Have you bought a loaf of bread lately?
                                        From my vantage point,these historic increases in materiel costs is a short term setback. We are forced to raise our prices. In 45-60 days our receivables will begin to turn those price increases. However, the longer view for the consumer isn't as easy to solve.

                                        Just a few days ago our purchasing manager handed me a memo he received from a supplier in Ningbo,China and they are announcing a 30% price hike in the items we purchase. We have been importing items from China for nearly a decade. This is the first time there has been a double-digit increase on a 6 month blanket order.

                                              From my vantage point,these historic increases in materiel costs is a short term setback. We are forced to raise our prices. In 45-60 days our receivables will begin to turn those price increases. However, the longer view for the consumer isn't as easy to solve.

                                              Just a few days ago our purchasing manager handed me a memo he received from a supplier in Ningbo,China and they are announcing a 30% price hike in the items we purchase. We have been importing items from China for nearly a decade. This is the first time there has been a double-digit increase on a 6 month blanket order.
                                              Of course, but we also make our own bread... so I know what the raw materials cost.

                                              How much have your raw material costs gone up over the last decade? Outside this year...

                                              We don't have a decade of stats, excluding this year our raw costs have gone up about 25%, with this year it's a pretty big ass jump.

                                              I see what China is doing, while it may cost us both more today, it should in the long term create a longer stable price, allowing us to forecast our future costs with much better accuracy. Something China has been bitching about with the various markets for awhile now, and kinda a smart business move if it ends up happening.

                                              Go in with a couple other companies next time and buy in even larger bulk... the price will go down. That's what they want, less small orders, more larger orders, and we distro here ourselves, lowering the projected costs for them.

Then look for all the other raw materiels,carbon steel,non-ferrous and manufactured wood products. A 20% increase in the base prices of raw materiel in 180 days is hyper-inflation.
                                                No it's not because:

                                                1) it is only taking into account specific items while ignoring others.

                                                2) hyperinflation is currency dependent. That means that base prices are accelerating out of control for the currency in question. If the base prices you're citing are also going up in other currencies, you are simply observing higher prices.

                                                You are also using a definition of hyperinflation that is not used in mainstream economics.

                                                It's fine if you guys want to make up your own definitions, but recognize that for what it is.

                                                  Does that mean the inflation rate, itself, would be like 26%? Then for it to be hyper inflation that compounds for 3 years?

                                                  I guess I'm glad Americans still produce wealth, goods, etc. and looking at it, we would need to damn near stop producing anything to reach the numbers of true hyper inflation.

                                                    This may be true, but if he knew a bit more he would have never appointed two Wall Street stooges like Geithner and Summers to manage the economy.

                                                    And had he not done that, he just might have had the balls to pursue criminal investigations of Lehman Brothers, Countrywide, the entire Financial Products Division of AIG and the rest of the shysters who deep sixed the economy.


                                                    Still in all, aside from (possibly) Ron Paul, Obama's far better than anything the Republicans have to offer.

                                                      My degree is in mechanical engineering. Even though I haven't done much engineering work in the last 10 years my daily tasks are solidly in the business and management side of manufacturing. I will concede the word hyper.

                                                      That being said,since 1999 when we added the plastics division the last 6 months have been the largest cost increases we have seen. In 1999 a pound of raw poly cost 54 cents.
                                                      Though the 2000's it rose annually at a bit over COLA.

                                                            I guess I'm glad Americans still produce wealth, goods, etc. and looking at it, we would need to damn near stop producing anything to reach the numbers of true hyper inflation.
                                                            Or worse... But you have to look at inflation in totality. Try http://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables.htm

                                                            Simply selecting areas of prices that are higher and then citing hyperinflation is an abuse of the term, which is what Minte was doing.

                                                            We had high inflation in the 1970's (upwards of 13%), but it was not considered hyperinflation. Compare that to 2008 +3.8%, 2009 -0.4%, 2010 +1.6%.

                                                            Then compare those to These Hyperinflations where prices were doubling from every 15 hours to every 6 days.

                                                            If you witness people scrambling to get their hands on their money as fast as they can so that they can immediately spend it because it will be worth much less the following day, that's hyperinflation.

                                                              Support? Naaa, I voted for Ron Paul. My mission here is to show you people, how out of whack you guys are with just about everything you write related to Obama. Which we can clearly see in this thread....

                                                              Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                              think about that

                                                                That being said,since 1999 when we added the plastics division the last 6 months have been the largest cost increases we have seen. In 1999 a pound of raw poly cost 54 cents.
                                                                Though the 2000's it rose annually at a bit over COLA.
                                                                What you describe above is more a result of supply and demand.

                                                                It is simply a brute fact that with the rise of emerging markets, there are more dollars, euros, pounds, yen, yuan/renmimbi, rupees, etc. chasing the same resources.

                                                                WTS, There is no doubt that weakening / strengthening currencies play a role.

                                                                But until you see the US Dollar Index and US bond market collapsing, the world doesn't have even accelerating inflation considered as a significant risk at this point.

                                                                It could happen, so I'm not saying it's impossible. It just looks to me as the US is struggling to maintain inflation and prevent a slip back into the deflation we saw in 2009.

                                                                              BTW, keep on subject, we were talking about the idiot in office we have now, just because another president did something, doesn't make it right. Comparing Obama to Reagan is like comparing Pelosi to Einstein. Obama is no where near the league Reagan was in, Reagan didn't take shit from other countries, Obama bows to them.
                                                                              First thing Reagan did when he was in office was to stop the shit Carter got us in with Iran.

Just think of the 800,000+ civilians that died in the war of lies, Iraq. And it appears in 2011, 75% of civilian deaths have been caused by Taliban forces, and not ours.

                                                                                  Any idea how more can they force inflation before deflation kicks in, while hyper inflation would suck, I don't see it around the corner.. I do see hyper deflation, if that's even a phrase, just around the corner.
                                                                                  By continuing to inject liquidity in the system or in the case of a serious rebound in the economy failing to mop up the liquidity.

                                                                                  I agree with you that deflation is much more of a risk than hyperinflation. I think hyperinflation has more potential after a deflationary collapse if that were to happen.

                                                                                  I've never heard the term hyper-deflation. I think by the very mechanics of deflation they are "hyper" if they cannot be stopped.

                                                                                  Take Minte as a businessman for example. Imagine what he would do if he saw collapsing prices for the commodities or other resources he manages as part of his business. I imagine he would be hard pressed to buy the commodities he needs, invest in infrastructure, labor, etc. if, tomorrow or next week or whatever his horizon was, he expected the cost of all these things to be cheaper.

                                                                                    Looks like you need to research the numbers again. Our military killing civilians is down.... if you remember correctly, that is one of Obama's ideas for the military, kill as few civilians as possible.

Comparing Obama to Reagan is like comparing Pelosi to Einstein. Obama is no where near the league Reagan was in, Reagan didn't take shit from other countries, Obama bows to them.
                                                                                    First thing Reagan did when he was in office was to stop the shit Carter got us in with Iran.
                                                                                    Reagan's policies, created the mess we're in today... his theories failed, trickle down failed, tax cut failed, he spent more money than Obama by far.

                                                                                    We don't need a President to be a jack ass, we need one that respects others.... one thing I actually like about Obama is that he does show other leaders respect, respect they deserve to have.

                                                                                      I've never heard the term hyper-deflation. I think by the very mechanics of deflation they are "hyper" if they cannot be stopped.

                                                                                      Take Minte as a businessman for example.

                                                                                          As much as I have distaste for many things that are happening and have happened leading up to the current crisis and until today, I think the consequences of letting it deflate (collapse) are so catastrophic any attempt to "find the balance" is the only reasonable thing to do.

We're in two wars, and like 50 countries, and killing in like 20 at once, all the fucking time. Peace? Fuck peace, he did what Bush should have done, went and got the damn bad guy, not giving a shit where he was! That's being a leader!

Shit the Pope had WAY more to do with it ending than Reagan ever did. If you want to give out real credit where credit is actually due, thank the Pope.

                                                                                                    This is a great example of what I'm talking about above.... being that you don't understand how the stimulus was used, your quote really makes you sound completely uneducated on the subject.

                                                                                                    Let me help... Every State had to use the money in the percentages laid out by the Administration. One State would use the money correctly, and it worked/helped and things are good today. Another State, let's say like Texas, took the stimulus money, spent it how it should have been - which did work - however THEY spent the 'actual state school budget' on something else & did not use it with the Stimulus as it should have been, so when the stimulus funds dried up - they were fucked, and blamed Obama.

                                                                                                    If it was used stupid, it's not Obama that did it... it's the States. Point your hate the right direction and you might not be so blinded by it.
